Seems the higher wind in alot of Applications helps a plane. makes it easier to fly and to land. I know on a calm day flying a superstar 60 and landing is alot more difficult then say a day the wind it blowin 10 mph to 15 miles per hour. Bust gusting winds like today 30 to 50 i think i'm gonna stay home.

And of course experience makes all the difference. i have flown a SKYFly in 10 MPH winds a little tricky but it can be done. Have had it get away from me then it was almost impossable to get it back. maybe with a brushless motor and a lipo it would have the power to return.

All great information on planes that can handle the wind.[sm=thumbup.gif] My Extra 330L didnt do to well in the wind. Due to my lack of experience i thought that it would fly good in the 15 mph wind, and it did. Till i turned it with the flow of the wind and got it up to who knows looked like 50 mph, then cut it back into the wind and stripped 2 servos at witch time caused a lack of control and crash landing.

I failed to research the correct servos for the plane and put standard servos in it. Live and learn[:@], Didnt think a high wind situation would cause that much load on the flight surfaces but apperently it does.[sm=red_smile.gif]
